We recomend you wash your vehicle regularly with TRIBOS® Shampoo or an equivalent LOW ALKALINE shampoo and a clean sponge. Use a clean chamois to remove any watermarks. We told you it was simple!
Important Tips and Advice
Bird liming, tree sap and insect remains are corrosive and should be washed off immediately using a clean sponge and Tribos Shampoo. Failure to do so may result in not only damage/removal of the polymer, but also damage to paintwork and may also invalidate your Tribos warranty.
Industrial fallout and traffic film should be removed regularly as part of your routine wash. If there are more persistent deposits which are proving difficult to shift, please contact us for advice.
Cleaning Bodywork
When washing your vehicle, please note that all brushes will cause hazing and scratches, this will remove the polymer coating and also damage the paintwork. For a professional clean, we recommend the use of Tribos Shampoo and a clean sponge in good condition or an equivalent low alkaline shampoo. To dry the vehicle, either let it ‘air dry’naturally or use a clean chamois which is in good condition.
Automatic Car Washes
We do not recommend the use of automatic car washes. This type of car wash is proven to damage paintwork, and the use of this kind of wash system will invalidate any warranty given by Hielaman Ltd. Hand-held jet-wash systems are acceptable.
